Behind a successful woman are her parents
We all know P V Sindhu, the sporting icon, the great fighter, first Indian woman athlete to win two Olympic medals, a consistent performer at the highest level.
In her interaction with OTs, one could see in her the "girl next door" - serious, respectful, childlike, warm with dedication to badminton.
P V Ramana, member of 1986 bronze-medal Asian Games volleyball team, a fierce spiker and blocker, man with "killer instinct" and father of P V Sindhu.
We have great sporting talent in India but we need more P V Ramanas who see talent, facilitate proper coaching and opportunities for talent to grow and flower.
P V Ramana, the father who did not want her daughter to miss her education and used to write notes for her to study. P V Sindhu completed her graduation on time and her love for education led her to do MBA thereafter.
Vijaya, a volleyball player who played for Railways and mother of P V Sindhu.
"My mother's role cannot be quantified and measured. Simply put, if not for her, I wouldn't have this kind of career"
Words are totally inadequate to offer tribute to P V Sindhu and her parents. A small effort by me.
Very nicely put sir. She is definitely one of the sporting icons who have inspired a generation of young sportspersons especially girls. The consistency she has shown over the years is really commendable.
